Footballers found sharing identical farewell messages – fans speculate AI copy-paste scenario
In today’s world, it’s a common trend for footballers to say goodbye to their former clubs through heartfelt social media posts – expressing gratitude to the supporters, sharing kind words about the club, and hinting at what lies ahead. However, when Fábio Silva transitioned from Wolves to Borussia Dortmund and Christantus Uche moved from Getafe to Crystal Palace, their farewell messages seemed eerily similar. Silva’s Instagram update on Aug. 29 began: “When I arrived at Wolves, I did so full of ambition, dreams, and a desire to make my mark. I know I didn’t live up to expectations. But football and life are about more than numbers or moments on the pitch.” Uche’s message, posted just five days later? “When I arrived at Getafe, I did so full of ambition, dreams, and a desire to make my mark. I know I didn’t live up to expectations. But football and life are about more than numbers or moments on the pitch.” The wording remained the same until the very last lines. Silva concluded with “I will always be a fan of this club. Thank you, Wolves. With all my heart,” while Uche merely replaced Wolves with Getafe. Unsurprisingly, fans and journalists quickly connected the dots, theorizing that these messages were crafted from a common AI template instead of being written by the players themselves. Whether it was a matter of ease or direct copying, one thing is certain – when every farewell sounds alike, the emotional impact lessens significantly.
